Kathleen Turner shares disdain for Burt Reynolds in new interview

Kathleen Turner is revealing bombshell insights in a new interview with Vulture, including that she found Burt Reynolds “terrible” to work with.

The two worked together on the 1988 film titled “Switching Channels” and the actress didn't hold back when she described her negative experience on set with the actor.

"Working with Burt Reynolds was terrible. The first day Burt came in he made me cry," she said. "He said something about not taking second place to a woman. His behavior was shocking. It never occurred to me that I wasn’t someone’s equal."

She went on to say that the set became hostile because the crew chose sides in their alleged tiff. Turner did note that she was still able to “put the negativity aside” and get the job done.

Back in March, Burt Reynolds appeared on Bravo’s "Watch What Happens Live" and called Turner the most overrated actor of the 70s and 80s.

The actress discussed a range of topics during the in depth interview with Vulture, including how dealing with Rheumatoid arthritis put a damper on her career and enjoying her experiences working with Jack Nicholson. Read the full interview here.
